On Tuesday I took my mum for cream tea at Apsleys at The Lanesborough Hotel for her (belated) birthday present. It was also the last time for six weeks that I will get to sit in a comfortable chair and eat cakes while listening to some tinkly grand piano, as those things are weirdly generally absent from tour. I was so excited about tea I may have fallen on the Tube escalator on the way there. But no one saw so it wasn't real.
We ate it all (and a couple of refill plates of sandwiches) under a beautiful glass ceiling, and my mum was very keen on this huge flower display.
(I could have eaten about 6 more scones).
